Sunderland have entered the race for Fabio Quagliarella, of Juventus. The
Italian club want to sell two of their six strikers after signing Carlos
Tévez and Fernando Llorente this summer, but Paolo Di Canio, the Sunderland
head coach, believes he can persuade Juventus to accept a loan deal with the
option of a permanent transfer.

Norwich City tried to sign Quagliarella last season and West Ham United were
also interested in the player, who has two years left on his contract, but
Sam Allardyce, the West Ham manager, prefers Stewart Downing, the Liverpool
winger.
